‘The Bachelorette’: Why is Andi Dorfman’s latest new episode not on tonight?

Andi Dorfman -There are occasionally those in television who have a strange habit of making things far more complicated than they otherwise need to be, and that is what we are personally seeing out of ABC tonight when it comes to their latest episode of “The Bachelorette.”

What is going on? We’ll start here by keeping it simple, and saying that there is no new episode airing on the network, as there will be every other Monday for the rest of the season. As for the reason why, the schedule tonight has more political motivations. There is instead going to be a new interview special called “Hillary Clinton: Public and Private” that airs at 9:00 p.m. Eastern, and obviously the network expects such big things from this that they were willing to jostle around one of their most-successful summer shows (even though the ratings have been down so far this time).

With all of this being said, there is still a chance for you to see some “Bachelorette”-related entertainment tonight if you really want to. The network has scheduled a special at 8:00 that will include some highlights of the season along with some never-before-seen footage, and also the Rose Ceremony that was edited out of this past episode so that there could be a separate interview between Chris Harrison and Andi on Eric Hill. We’re still going to go on and provide some sort of coverage on that, including some more information on what could be coming up next. Unfortunately, it just will not be the same as the rest of the other articles that we have written.
